iPhone highlights from Florence
Thought I might do this again, sort of a teaser of coming attractions!
After our time in Venice - which I shared here - we headed down to the lovely town of Florence (or Firenze to the Italians) for 9 wonderful evenings. We camped out in an apartment just a short walk to the Ponte Vecchio (that is the famous and often-photographed bridge), which is very central and made it super easy for me to get EVERYWHERE.
Literally, I went just about everywhere in town and photographed it top to bottom. I love it there, and I find the city very photogenic. I had a list prior to getting there of all the spots I wanted to shoot, and I made it to every one of them.
So this post is just a sampler platter, or a teaser of coming attractions, or whatever you want to call it. But basically here's a preview of what I shot there, except that these pics were all taken with my iPhone 6. I still shoot with my iPhone A LOT when I travel, and usually my faves end up in this set on Flickr. So if you go check out that set you will see a lot more from all of Italy (and elsewhere, of course - going back a few years actually!).

Just a typical street scene, though this happens to be where our apartment was

Inside The Uffizi, which is a great museum and possibly my favorite museum anywhere
